‹

Make sure the rechargeable battery is inserted the right way round

Use the battery specified in these operating instructions

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's practice).

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not operate the phone in places where there is a risk of explosion (such as paint workshops).

The handset is not splash-proof (see page 33).

Drivers must not use the phone while driving.

The phone must be switched off at all times in an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on accidentally.
